Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some cruiser or big-bike experience who are comfortable managing a heavy, low-slung machine at parking-lot speeds.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed highway cruising and weekend touring rather than outright performance, with a shaft-drive V-twin, saddlebags, and windscreen aimed at covering long miles in comfort.
Rider FitThe low 681mm seat height and forward floorboards suit shorter and taller riders alike, though the substantial 323kg weight demands confident low-speed balance and upper body strength when maneuvering off the throttle.
CharacterA laid-back, classic American-style cruiser with a torquey 52-degree V-twin, dual spark plugs per cylinder, and a smooth shaft final drive that favors steady, unhurried riding over aggressive cornering.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders wanting sharp handling, high-speed sport performance, or any serious off-road capability.

2014 Honda Interstate Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 681mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2014 Honda Interstate, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
